Note 14 — II THE ROMANTIC SCHOOL IN GERMANY (continued 6)

"Art thou not conscious of him in the world, his work? Dost thou not see him in the sunset glow That falls so softly on the silent woods? Dost thou not hear him in the rippling stream, And in the nightingale's melodious notes? Is it in vain the heaven-high mountains speak, And hissing foam of rock-torn waterfall? When bright the sun into his temple shines, And all created life pulsates with joy, And magnifies its great Creator's name, Dost thou not seek the shrine of thy pure heart And worship there thine idol?"
